This mostly comes from its detachable keyboard, which features a touchpad on the right side, rather than below the keys. But there are other things, such as the size of the tablet itself, which is 15.6 inches, and the design, which looks a little like a novelty HTC smartphone (once someone in the office pointed that out to us, we couldn't stop seeing it).Elias PlastirasMon, 19 Jan 2015 12:45:26 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/hp/envy-x2/564168/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedIn Pictures: CES 2015’s best business gadgetshttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/slideshow/563643/pictures-ces-2015-best-business-gadgets/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedCES is a consumer show, but there are plenty of nifty tools for businesses too.Brandon ButlerMon, 12 Jan 2015 10:50:41 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/slideshow/563643/pictures-ces-2015-best-business-gadgets/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedAcer Aspire Switch 10 Pro 2-in-1 notebook PChttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/acer/aspire-switch-10-pro/562248/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedAcer’s Aspire Switch 10 Pro is a hybrid Windows 8.1-based device that’s aimed primarily at the education and business markets. It’s a tablet device first and foremost, but it ships with a keyboard base that allows it to also be used as a notebook or as a display in ‘stand’ or ‘tent’ modes.Elias PlastirasWed, 10 Dec 2014 15:19:51 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/acer/aspire-switch-10-pro/562248/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHP Stream 11 laptophttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/hp/stream-11/560950/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedIt's not an expensive laptop, and it's not a boring one either. HP's Stream 11 (named so because of its 11in screen size) has jumped into the laptop scene with splash of colour and an overall list of features that make it a nice pick-up if you're a student or, indeed, anyone after a small, yet budget notebook.Elias PlastirasWed, 03 Dec 2014 14:50:39 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/hp/stream-11/560950/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedKogan offers $329 Windows 8.1 laptop with good specs http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/560481/kogan-offers-329-windows-8-1-laptop-good-specs/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedKogan, the young upstart that once offered small Linux-based notebooks under its own name, has re-entered the laptop market with a budget 15.6in model that runs Windows 8.1.Elias PlastirasWed, 26 Nov 2014 08:24:52 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/560481/kogan-offers-329-windows-8-1-laptop-good-specs/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedAcer Chromebook 11 (CB3-111) http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/acer/chromebook-11-cb3-111/559870/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedIf a little laptop for getting on the Internet and doing some basic browsing and word processing sounds like your cup of tea, then Acer’s Chromebook 11 (CB3-111) should be right up your alley.

It’s designed with the intention of providing better graphics than usual, thanks to the inclusion of a discrete NVIDIA GeForce 840M adapter, and it will at least give you an opportunity to run some games while still swinging a convenient thin-and-light form factor.Elias PlastirasTue, 11 Nov 2014 16:08:23 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/asus/zenbook-ux303ln/559343/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedWhich Lenovo Yoga tablet is right for me?http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/558424/which-lenovo-yoga-tablet-right-me/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedLenovo announced the availability of the Yoga 3 Pro locally, as well as the Yoga Tablet 2 Pro, and a couple of variants of the Yoga Tablet 2.

There is no separation between the screen and the body, and the only hint that this thing is a hybrid comes from its hinges, which are more heavy duty than usual. They have to be, because they allow the screen to travel all the way around to facilitate tablet mode.Elias PlastirasSun, 05 Oct 2014 20:21:38 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/556665/lenovo-thinkpad-yoga-perfect-hybrid-notebook/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedMSI cherry-picks gaming and workstation notebook models for Australiahttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/547280/msi_cherry-picks_gaming_workstation_notebook_models_australia/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedMSI showcased a wide range of products at the Computex trade-show this year, but only a select few products will be released in Australia due to the intense competition characterising the local mobility market.Tony IbrahimWed, 11 Jun 2014 11:53:11 +1000http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/547280/msi_cherry-picks_gaming_workstation_notebook_models_australia/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedHP Split 13 x2http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/hp/split_13_x2/531480/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedThe Split 13 x2 combines a fairly lightweight 13-inch tablet with a keyboard, battery and storage dock.
